Better than 50%? I like my chances. I'll try and post a little 10 min (unedited) vid in next few days.
Fargo question- could be a dumb one…

I'm pulling for you, I really am. I felt the same way about myself and had to take a hard look in the mirror after giving it an honest attempt to win multiple sets over a few days.
Can comment on guy ratings, because don’t know, don’t care.
Two guy I play One Pocket with are low 600’s like 620.
When they play it two win, sort of fun to beat em once in while.
Think went Tournament Fees go above $20.00-$25.00, the recreational player do not partipate.
No chance of winning nothing. I suggested creating separate torment with in tournament. Put C’s and B’s in separate price pots.
Let the top two C & B player move on to play As, but that idea did not fly.
Sort of like fight & stay alive with Mike Tyson for 5 minutes, for a Grand. All you going to get is beat up.
You must have missed the part about fair handicapping. Tie Tyson's hands behind his back and I'll give it a shot.
We had handicapping in AZ System, stronger player won most of time.
Like I said your recreational player for the most part do no play in Pro type events.
They play for recreation, not to give Pros their

The AZ rating was shitty. Fargo is a way better system for handicapping.We had handicapping in AZ System, stronger player won most of time.

You & I have different opinions. Both did not offer better player many tournament’s to play.
Mike Howerton’s Desert Classic Tour, was great.
Player came from out of state, and I think the event was great for local tour.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
My fargo is depressed because I can only play in tourneys on 7 foot tables, and the weaker players win more games than they would on 9 footers. My fargo has dropped 40 points since I moved up here.
I recently made some alignment adjustments, and I think im playing around 660.. of course, I think I'm a favorite against the ghost too

I can see a 600 player beating the ghost in this situation:
1. They're on their table.
2. Playing the 9 Ball Ghost (not 10 ball).
3. Clean, predictable equipment.
4. Using a template rack.
That and Kamui chalkRecently figured out and corrected some alignment problems
#1 is huge
A real 600 and under Fargo would beat the 9 ball ghost maybe 20% of the time, on a normal 9" table with around 4.75" pockets, maybe, at the top level of the rating. I am a 550 and I can't even beat the 8 ball ghost, although I have not tried too often. 7 ball ghost I can beat most of the time. I don't think any ghost ability rating should be set on 7 footers or on large pockets, needs to be on standard "player" equipment or it would be under what it should be.

Template rack is the big part. I'm making 2 to 3 balls every break with nothing tied up. That's why I like my chances
I got pics of table after I made 5 on break a couple times. It was so entertaining I took pics, unfortunately they are too big too load.Template rack is the big part. I'm making 2 to 3 balls every break with nothing tied up. That's why I like my chances
